Posted on 11:45 PM
Label: , , ,
Just like an article on Cnet, Suse Studio is a power full tool created remaster of Open Suse. It is web based tool so we don't need to install in our computer.
It's has a lot of cool features. Freedom to build our own distro is a must. So we could simply add or remove unwanted package. Customize both of loading page and the logo.
Plus
We got 15 GB free space.
Minus
This site is just beta version. So the member is still limited. Need approval from the administrator first.

Simple How To
1. Registration
2. Wait for approval (may be a month :)
3. Make an Account
4. Make project to create distro
5. Download
6. Burn the iso
7. Install
Have a nice your own opensuse.

Online Backup | Ubuntu One vs Mandriva Click'n Backup

Posted on 8:56 PM

Ubuntu One
The Ubuntu One project is one innovation Canonical announced today. It provides online data sync between two or more Ubuntu based computer. System Requirements: To use Ubuntu One services, we require Ubuntu 9.04 or greater, a internet connection (broadband or faster is recommended) and Firefox or a similar standards-compliant web browser.
Just spend $10.00 (USD) per month to get 10GB online space to share your data to other human being. Nor you could choose to try it first. Get invitation from Canonical to try 2GB disk space for free. Now, what are you waiting for?

Mandriva Click'n Backup
It's little bit different service Mandriva offers to its costumer. Mandriva Click'n Backup tries to do these things:
  • Back up your data securely on line.
  • Use a remote storage area to share your data and access it from anywhere, and synchronize your data on several computers.
Mandriva offers more than Ubuntu One does, since Click’n Backup works equally well with Mandriva Linux, other Linux distribution, Windows or Mac OS X.
But there's one condition. You couldn't just try it like Ubuntu One for free space. You should pay the price, and here's the price list.

Now, what is your choice?

Repositioning on Avant Window Navigator are unimplemented yet. But you can do some trick to do that. Just edit manual the AWN. Open gconf-editor (or gconftool) find the key /apps/avant-window-navigator/bar/bar_pos. Just do trial and error practice to find the best position. Don't forget to restart the AWN after.

Samba VScan

Posted on 6:12 PM
Label: , , , , ,

Samba is the only protocol connecting Windows and Linux. And we already knew that Windows is lack of virus, worm, trojan, etc. Of course all of our writeable samba shares may get infected. So what should we do??
We can install antivirus scanner on Windows. But that's not the point because we still get infected from all of our network. So if one of them infected the samba file(s), it will spread all over network.
The cleverest thing we can do is scanning all over the files that will be write to samba. If you asking me how? Here's the answer. We can put antivirus to our samba module. So every file in samba will automatically scanned before. If the file get infected by virus, worm, etc, it will be reject and quarantine automatically. So our samba share won't be infected.
And the how to?? You can read and practice it by yourself here and here.
